Believe in yourself the way I believe in you.
A tiny note to brighten the day.
Hey babe,
Alright, yes. The last newsletter was meant to come out today, not last week, but given my penchant for celebrating every win with champagne, it’s not shocking I forgot to hit “schedule.” Slap happy is my default when I’m giddy and over excited. I am a little dismayed as I’ve managed to keep these newsletters a Monday morning must have for multiple YEARS at this point. But … does anyone fucking care about my consistency other than me? Probably not.
So, the G-Spot today is just a little note for you: Celebrate your wins. Be proud of your accomplishments.
A mini-episode: There is a gorgeous, brilliant, witchy writer I love who posted this tweet that said:
My therapist and I are about to suss out if I’m worthy of the good things that happen to me and that are happening to me.
Something along those lines.
And that BROKE my heart. She is smart, kind, generous, so interesting, well-read, and has written, like, 7 books. And she’s not even 30. What a state of mind we find ourselves in when we allow our self-doubt to overtakes us. Sometimes the cup of success is full but our hearts still feel like a bottomless pit of emptiness.
I write this now because I’m guilty of it all the time. It’s probably why it hurt me deeply - both because I am profoundly proud of my colleague and friend - and because the words hit hard and hit home.
We need to be the ones to own our wins because if we don’t, who will?
OK, here are my litany of tweets and posts about all of this since my acceptance to my post-graduate program and securing a clinical supervisor who is legit one of the most respected therapists in the world. May they serve as a reminder that you are amazing. You deserve all the good things. And I love you.
